Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin are all inescapable signs of aging. These are the visible signs of collagen loss. Fortunately, we don’t have to accept these lines and wrinkles without question! There are a number of treatments that are aimed at increasing the production of collagen in our skin. One of these popular treatments is radiofrequency skin tightening. Lets look at what it is and how long it lasts.
The basic science behind radiofrequency skin tightening is that radiofrequency energy creates heat in the deep layers of the skin. This heat stimulates the tissue to contract and tighten which enhances the skin’s appearance while increasing the production of collagen in the process. The increased collagen production help give your skin a firmer foundation which will improve your skin’s elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
Forma is the name of the radiofrequency skin tightening system that we use at Skinatomy Laser Clinic. It can be used on forehead lines, crow’s feet, brows, bags under the eyes, and skin on the neck. It can tighten the jawline, remove folds, lift the eyes and sculpt the cheeks. Forma treatments can help to create a tighter, smoother, and more youthful look. It is safe and effective on any skin type.
Forma treatments will take approximately 30-60 minutes to complete. First, a cool gel is applied to the treatment area. A handheld device is then applied over the area for a determined amount of time. After the treatment, the gel is washed off and moisturizer applied. Patients typically receive 6 treatments that are scheduled one week apart.
Because Forma treatments encourage the formation of new collagen, your results will continue to improve over a few months. Patients will experience a smoother, fuller appearance, as skin is tightened and lines and wrinkles are reduced or eliminated. Results typically last for no less than 6 months.
With on-going treatments, your results can be much longer lasting. During your consultation, our team can determine how many treatments will be needed, how often they should be performed, and when any maintenance treatments may be necessary. Because Forma is non-invasive, it has no downtime after treatments. Its longevity and comfortable, convenient treatments make radiofrequency skin tightening one of the best anti-aging treatments available.
